After significant efforts in the fourth quarter, Vom announced on Wednesday that it had shipped 73 of its TBM and Kodiak series in 2022. The manufacturer also reports that it has a backlog of 100 orders for 2023 and 2024 for its single-engine turboprops, with the new TBM 960 and Kodiak 900 models debuting later in the year.
While the company experienced many of the same supply chain challenges that have plagued the entire aviation industry, the team’s efforts have overcome these obstacles.
“Last year’s business performance benefited from the dedicated efforts of our manufacturing, supply and sales teams on both sides of the Atlantic, as well as our firm commitment to address the ongoing supply chain challenges and job shortages in the airline industry,” said Nicolas Chabbert, senior vice president of Vom Aircraft Division, in a statement.
Chabbert also credited the launch of the FAA- and EASA-certified TBM 960 and FAA-blessed Kodiak 900 with “invigorating” sales over the next two years. FLYING demoed the TBM 960 for Q3 issue last year – and the Kodiak 900 will be featured in our next We Fly report in issue 934, which is currently on its way to subscribers.
